I have been told that if I have Facetite, it might get rid of the Sculptra that I have had. Has anyone any experience of this please?
Answer: Facetite and Sculptra Facetite is designed to contract fat and the dermal matrix at specific temperatures. Sculptra's effect is in part due to the body's inflammatory reaction to poly-l-lactic acid. There are case reports of bulk heating and ultrasound based energy being helpful with Sculptra so it is theoretically possible Facetite could help.

Answer: FaceTite Thank you for your question. I don’t think a FaceTite procedure will affect a previous Sculptra treatment. Please make sure you consult your provider and seek treatment from a board-certified dermatologist.

Answer: FaceTite and Sculptra Hi and thanks for the question.The active agent in Sculptra, Poly-L-Lactic Acid is a collagen stimulator by definition. Once the collagen has been created following the Sculptra treatment, it will persist and will not be disrupted by FaceTite, which, in itself, creates soft-tissue contraction with a more organized collagen matrix in the skin and soft-tissue. Products that would likely be disrupted by FaceTite would include Hyaluronic acids such as Juvederm, Restylane, and Belotero, especially if the directly exposed to the FaceTite probe.

Answer: FaceTite after Sculptra There shouldn't be any reason that the FaceTite procedure should affect the Sculptra that had been previously injected. When you look at the science of sculptra, it is a collagen stimulating product. The FaceTite procedure is also a collagen stimulator because it is using radiofrequency to heat tissues up to a temperature that causes skin tightening.

Answer: FaceTite and Sculptra Sculptra is a deep level treatment while FaceTite works at a more superficial level. Poly Lactic Acid is not a living organism so it should not respond to heat.
